Statistics on tonnage, extent of navigable waterways, different components of the waterway system, and the difference between foreign and domestic tonnage are provided. The difference between East- and West-Coast towing operations also is discussed, and lighter-aboard-ship and Seabee vessels engaged in foreign commerce are examined briefly.
